OM-D + HLD-6 = A Very Good Start

LW, Crutchfield

Summary: The HLD-6 is the ideal accessory for the OM-D as it facilitates holding/operating the camera while providing access to a reserve battery. After experiencing the convenience of using the OM System Winder 2 with my OM-1, I knew how important the HLD-6 would be for my enjoyment of the OM-D.

Pros: The HLD-6 is a well-designed accessory that will enhance the use and enjoyment of the OM-D.

Cons: The cost of the unit can be significant, especially if considered in combination with the purchase of the OM-D and/or additional lenses.

Summary: For several weeks I have been using the first part that extends the grip and adds an additional shutter button and sub dial. I use these all the time instead of the one on the camera. I think it makes the camera much more convenient and secure to hold.

Pros: Works great. Makes the camera easier to hold, better feel.

Cons: Great addition other than the price is more than it should be. Price is only reason I did not give it 5 stars. 1/3rd the price of a replacement body is too much.

An Excellent Battery Grip

Summary: the olympus HLD-6 battery grip is perfect on olympus the OMD EM-5 and makes handling the camera a lot more enjoyable when using the 75mm 1.8 lens and the 35-100 panasonic lens,also it has the advantage of having a spare battery to hand which you have to purchase seperatly.

Summary: The HLD-6 offers great value for money and great flexibility too. Being in two parts, I find I use the 'first' section the most - it gives a little extra grip and is ideal to hold when out and about doing street photography.It doesn't add too much bulk either, and the unit has been very well made.

Perfect for the Olympus OMD EM5

Summary: This grip really does add to the Olympus OMD experience.It makes the camera so much easier to handle with added portrait shooting dials and extra function buttons. I just keep one battery in the lower part its easier to change just the one.Its well made and fits together really well and doesnt add...
